Has already dem onstrated the fact thn

Iglowing encouragement, as others hsd
Ibsen over the ground bsfore him and

He saw WILMINGTON with her 60 0o(
population sit liko . queen at the head
OF the Peninsula, between the Che An.
peake and Delaware bays, and all that
section tributary to her uterests. He
saw also that Wilmip gton WAS Q rail.
road centre, with arms Of steel sire tch.

the Delaware river, where steam b oatr
take their places. He thonght--and he
thought correctly-ttat Wilm inRton
would be . good place In " hitch to start

but 70 act with him. He leased two

institute, put In de.hs and started o

between 40 and 30 day students and
from 20 to 10 evening Students, attest
the success OF his enterprise.

great expense that he might have q
